Huckabee Aint Bad for a Republican

The Des Moines Register has a story about Mike Huckabee with the headline that Huckabee will drop out if he fails to finish in the top 4 at the Ames Straw Poll.

However, this quote by Huckabee caught my eye...

An observer asked Huckabee about his views on immigration, another hot issue among Iowa Republicans.

The man asked why Huckabee uses the term "illegal immigrant" instead of "alien."

Tom Tancredo, another Republican presidential candidate, has defended his use of "alien" on the campaign trail to describe people in the country illegally.

"Well, 'alien' sounds like they are from outer space," Huckabee said. "They are fellow human beings."

Even though I disagree with many of Huckabee's positions, he seems like someone who understands the core issues, would work to find a compromise, and come up with solutions.
